My rents have been in town this weekend, which has been good. It's also meant a lawt of eatin out at fancy places ah ken only drool about. Hurray fer my genetic contributers!
Warren Teagarden had a CD release on Friday at tha weirdest club ahve evah played in. Tha upstairs is a swanky lounge w. couches (n some jam band playin when we gawt thar). Tha downstairs is a dingy concrete basement with airplane seats. One of tha walls has actually been made to look like tha windows of an airplane - complete w. a flashing light. Strange. BUT, there was two cases of PBR fer tha bands, n a generous jager shot fer $5. Ah think people had a good time - ah was a bit too intae tha PBR ta really be able ta tell....
Ahve been skippin yoga a lawt recently - nawt sure exactly why. Ah keep tellin myself ahma gae, n then, ah dont. My apologies fer bein lame - er maybe ahm tryin ta git my waist size back up. Nawt a good idea tho - cuz ah bought 3 pairs of shorts today - fer a total of 12 bux. Hellz yeah good will!
Ah downloaded tha recent Magnetic Fields album - ahm nawt really a huge fan of them, but ah needed somethang new ta listen to, n figured they might just be able ta win me ovah w. an album called Distortion. Ah was wrong - ah think ah dislike them even more then evah. First off, tha lyrics are really clevah - but they are so clevah ah think they don't pay too much attention to tha songs themselves. Tha production on this album tries way too hard ta be low-fi, n really, thars nawt a single tune thats been stuck in my head. Tha whole thang comes across as feelin very smug, n thas NAWT a vibe ah listen ta musick fer. While tha Mountain Goats are able ta write smart, sad, amazing lyrics, n combine them w. musick that is at tha worst tolerable, n at tha best, toe-tappin, tha Magnetic Fields make me think of a group of really smart science kids who eat lunch togetha n talk about how much money thar gawna make aftah they graduate from MIT. Blech.
Ah also found Frank Zappa beer today at my local liqour store, which has made me happy. And ah have think13 and Warren Teagarden shirts now - finally. Next Friday ahll play my first outta-tha-area gig in Sacramento w. WT.
And now - Chocolate!

It just aint stoppin....
So tha con was a total blast, exactly what ah needed. Ah haven't danced so hard, fer so long, in quite a while. Whoda thought a parachute n a smoke machine could transform a sanctuary so quickly?
Friday was weather fer shit. Sideways rain, inch-deep puddles on my way ta werk. Places flooded, areas lost power, trucks turned ovah, n bridges were closed. My house was one of tha ones that lost power, which was totally awesome as ah was tryin ta pack/showah fer tha weekend aftah werk. Ah walked ta tha BART in my suit cuz ah hada crappy job interview that day (tha job was crappy, tha interview went fine) n was all sorts of gross by tha time ah gawt home. Blech. But we made it ta Marin, safe n sound.
Last nite, Warren Teagarden rawked tha fawkin house, n then ah proceeded ta drink n stayed out a bit too late. Most of tha mornin was hang-ovah healin, n then ah scuttled off to tha Billy Graham Civic Center fer Project Homeless Connect. our set went pretty well, especially considerin that tha band hadn't practiced in 3 weeks. Latah that evenin was tha reception w. tha mayor, n then a troupe meetin. Good stuff is in tha horizon!
THa Plant Studios lost power, so tha recordin is bumped until an undetermined time. N now ahm busy 3 days a week w. think13 practice, so we ken really fawkin tight. Ahm about ta be even busier....
Two interviews this week, n many many resumes ta send out. Ah continue ta dae otha stuff at my temp job, n they continue ta be flexible w. my schedule, os its werkin out quite well. But tha jobs are still borin as all hell. Ahm nawt really complainin, they like me n are payin me.
So its midnite n time ta git some sleep-age...altho ahve just kinda resigned ta nawt sleepin this week. Just two much on my plate. Bettah then bein bored...er at least ah tell myself!
